How to Make a Star Wars Costume of Skywalker

Luke Skywalker, the protagonist of the original three “Star Wars” films, is an iconic science-fiction hero. After meeting old Jedi masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, Luke himself trains to become a Jedi. With his knowledge of the Force and his skill with a lightsaber, Luke is able to finally confront the villainous Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine, who have ruled the galaxy with an iron fist. Making a Luke Skywalker costume is simple, and no matter which part of his life you wish to represent, you can do so with clothing found around the house.

Dress in cream-colored pants in a lightweight fabric.

Wear a baggy, cream-colored tunic with no undershirt--on the desert planet of Tatooine, Luke dressed for breathable comfort. The tunic should fall to about the mid-thigh area.

Strap a thick black belt around your waist and clip a lightsaber handle prop to it.

Slip on a pair of beige shoes.

Wrap a fabric support bandage around each leg, starting at the top of the shoe and going up to just below the knee. This mimics the wrapped, layered appearance of Luke's boots.
